Michelle Fields will not be appearing on the Fox News show "Cashin' In" for now. The channel and Fields are evaluating her role as a guest panelist on the weekend show on a "week to week basis," according to a Fox News spokesperson.

Fields, a former Breitbart reporter who has been appearing on the program nearly every week for three years, filed a police complaint against Donald Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski for allegedly grabbing her forcefully as she was trying to ask Trump a question that she was left with a bruise on her arm.

In a statement, a Fox News spokesperson denied that there has been any discussion about permanently removing Fields from the show, and that Bolling was not involved in any way.

“There was never any discussion or directive to remove Michelle Fields from the program and certainly not by Eric Bolling. The only recent conversation about her appearances on "Cashin In" was with a show producer last night and they mutually agreed to take her role as a guest panelist on a week to week basis," the spokesperson said.

Bolling, who has been called Fields' mentor, said on Fox News recently that he hasn't spoken to Fields since the incident and suggested she might have been grabbed by a Secret Service agent, rather than Lewandowski. Challenged by his colleagues that video clearly showed Lewandowski reaching for Fields, Bolling said that he knows Fields well, that no woman should ever be hit, and that if it was Lewandowski, he should apologize.

A source with knowledge of the situation, however, said that Fields was told last night that due to her ongoing dispute with the Donald Trump campaign she could not be an impartial panelist.

Fields, who has been shown support by several other Fox personalities, was interviewed twice in the past week by host Megyn Kelly to talk about the incident.
